[Shorty]

They deserve to be written off, they limped into the finals and are a pretty average team.
They shouldn't even be here.

 

[user_nat]

Fact that everyone has written the Broncos off means that they will be competitive tonight

I'm not so sure it works that way.

Who should be there then? The warriors / knights / tigers / dragons / Titans?
Give valid reasons!!

Let's Go Broncos!!!

My video was better

The cowboys should win but writing off the broncos completely is a big call.

 

[Shorty]

The Broncos are very capable of beating the Cows but I just hope it doesn't happen.

 

[JW]

Ever increasing sentiment that the Cows may as well just get on the piss today, as just turning up will ensure a comfortable progression to the next round.

Still long odds, but its shaping up to be a f**king delicious ambush if it does happen.

 

[Shorty]

lol@the butthurt at Broncos fans.

 

[Snappy]

And yet people call Broncos supporters arrogant. :roll:

Everyone had written the Broncos off. Even Im not really expecting us to win so the loss isnt going to hurt at all. But if we do pull off a miracle, the tears from all and sundry will be epic.

 

[Shorty]

I'm not being arrogant, I find it amusing that so many are annoyed.
Broncos form has been appalling, so naturally people will pick the better in form team.

Not that the Cows can't stuff it up, but they've played well this season and deserve to be favourites and the fans have been patient and waited a long time to see such a complete team.

 

[user_nat]

Who is annoyed..?

 

[JW]

Not butthurt at all mate.

Of course there's nothing wrong with the one-sided sentiment, its totally deserved. But I've lost count of the amount of times Ive seen a decent team in the middle of a shit of run being written off completely only to come out and surprise everyone with a blinder.

The Broncos have been on the wrong end of many, more than I care to remember.

Not saying we've got this by any means, our form says we're done. But when your team has been stamped as having no hope, I'm sure you'll agree that the good old ambush usually provides the sweetest victories.

The first 4 on 1 that Norman kills however, any chance we had goes out the window, lol.

 

[Shorty]

I think that the Broncos are more than capable of beating this team.
But from what I've seen they just have too much improvement needed to do it, that they need to go into the off season and work on their direction.
They're rudderless atm.

To defeat the Cows they'd have to defend really well and try and frustrate the Cows.
I just feel like this Broncos team is too young and inexperienced to exploit that sort of thing.

But it must be an unusual feeling to have, coming into a finals series and be underdogs against an opponent they've defeated plenty of times over the years.

Any Cows fans appearing arrogant really are just being extremely positive and excited, it's going to be a close game.

 

[Slammin]

Of course the Cows deserve to be favourites, no issues with that. However their team is only a decent regular season team, they don't have a side ready to play finals footy.

I will be at the game tonight and can't wait for the Broncos to show NQ what a true finals football team looks like.

Should something go seriously wrong (i.e. meteorite takes out Broncos team) then I will still happily barrack for the cowboys further into the finals.

Slammin Sam said they changed the tyres so Broncos have got this, trust me

The only thing we have going for us tonight is that the Cows have a track record of choking in finals footy. Not against us obviously, they're up 1 - nil, but just in general.

 

[user_nat]

We don't really have the greatest finals record either.

 

[BDR]

The only thing we have going for us tonight is that the Cows have a track record of choking in finals footy. Not against us obviously, they're up 1 - nil, but just in general.

Previous to this season we've made the finals 4 times. We made the GF once, and the GF qualifier twice

Last year was the only time we went out in week 1 and that was to the premiers

 

[Slammin]

Sounds like massive chokers to me.

Anyway I'm out and off to the game, good luck and enjoy mad monday Cowboys!!!

 

[Pugzley]

Don't care who wins as long as one of the QLD teams get knocked out and the other is too hurt that their next game will be a curbstomp.
